    <h1>HocusFocus</h1>

    <p>HocusFocus should help you make quick screenshots and highlight them without having to use an extra image-editing program.</p>

 <p>To use HocusFocus, follow these steps:</p>

    <ol>
        <li>Press the HocusFocus hot-key combination on your keyboard (you may set this in HocusFocus' preferences panel). The cursor will change to a crosshairs and you can drag out the gray rectangle over the area you want to capture.</li>
        <li>The screen will then invert, leaving your capture area highlighted and the rest of the screen grayed out.</li>
        <li>The default shape is chosen in the tools palette; you can choose the current shape to be drawn using the mouse to click on them or using the scroll wheel on the mouse to cycle through them.</li>
        <li>Drag out the shape over the area of the screen you want to highlight
          <ul>
            <li>Hold down the shift key to restrict the target area to a square</li>
            <li>Hold down the option key to make the shape grow from the point you first clicked.</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
            <li>To move a shape around in the capture area click on it and drag</li>
            <li>To delete a shape:
              <ul>
                <li>Drag the shape out of the highlighted area and release the mouse button</li>
                <li>Hover over the shape and hit the Delete key</li>
              </ul>
            </li>
        <li>Use the Esc key to cancel the screen capture</li>
        <li>To capture the current highlighted area and ornamentation (you will hear a camera shutter sound when the capture happens):
          <ul>
            <li>Click outside the highlighted area</li>
            <li>Hit Return</li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li>At this point, the part of the screen you want to capture is in the pasteboard (clipboard), so you can paste it into any application that can handle images.</li>
    </ol>
